An RV Park has been proposed for Madisonville riverfront–specifically the area surrounding the old lighthouse. Plans seem to indicate an RV park with 55 pads, a rental area for paddle boats, a rebuilt road to the Old Lighthouse, and ten lots for permanent residences (these appear to be houses and not permanent RV spots).
